chapter had been standing behind the
window curtains OF that bedroom which
had been Thankful Blossoms In the weeks
gone by. She did not move her head, but
stood looking demurely, after the manner
Of ancient crones, over the summer land
scape. For the summer had come before
the tardy spring was scarce gone, and
the elms before the window no longer
lisped, but were eloquent in the softest
Zephyrs There was the flash Of birds in
among the bushes, the occasional droning
OF bees in and out the open window, and
perpctually swinging censor Of flower
incense rising from below. The farm
had put on its gayest bridal raiment; and,
looking at the old farm house Swallowed
with foliage and green with creeping
vines, it was difficult to conceive that
snow had ever lain on its porches, or
icicles swung from its messy caves.
"ThankfulN' said voice still tremu
lous with weakness
The ancient crone turned, drew aside
the curtains and showed the sweet face OF
Thankful Blossom, more beautiful even in
its paleness
Come here, darling" repeated the
voice.
Thankful stepped to the sofa wherein
lay the convalescent Maj, Van Zandt.
"rell me, sweetheart" said the major
taking her hand in his, "when you mar
red me, rs you told the Chaplain that
you might have the right to nurse me, did
you never think that if death spared me |
might be so dsfigured that even you, dear
love, would have turned from me with
loathing;"
"That was why l did it, dear" said
Thankful mschievously. ~ know that
the pride, and the sense of honor, and self
devotion of some people would have kept
them from keeping their promises to a
poor girl"
''But, darling" continued the major,
raising her hand to his lips, suppose the
case had been reversed; suppose you had
taken the disease, that | had recovered
without Disagreement but that this sweet
face'-
~ thought of that, too" interrupted
Thankful.
"Well, what would you have done,
dearY' said the major, with his old mis-
shievous smile.
81 should have died." said Thankful,
gravely.
"But how?'
somehow. But you are 10 go 10 sleep,
and not ask impertinent and frivolous
questions; for father is coming to-mor-
row."
Thankful, dear, do you know what
the trees and the birds said to me as lay
there tossing with fever"
"No, DEAR
Thankful Blossom! Thankful Bios
som! Thankful Blossom is coming"
"Do you know what said, sweetheart,
as lifted your dear head from the ground
when you reeled from your horse just as
overlook you at Springtields"
"No, dear"
"There are some things in life worth
STOPPING for"
And she winged this Parthian arrow
home with kiss.

Farther Details About the Attempt
on the Cars Life.

LONDON, March ia dispatch
from st. Petersburg says: While the
Gear was returning from the requiem
service in the Cathedral OF st. Peter
and st Paul, bomb attached to accord
was thrown in his direction. The in
tentiGn was to tighten the stIiug,
which was connected with the mech
anism, and thus explode the bomb,
but before it could be executed the
criminal and a suspected accomplish
we're seized. 1t was found that they
lived together in a lodging house
in suburb of the city. The
police visited this house and
discovered there a quantity of explo-
sives and number OF revolutionary
pamphlets. Over 200 persons have
already been arrested in connection
with the affair and domicilisry visits
are being made throughout the city.
The German police had warned the
Russian authorities that an attempt
was to be made against the Czae's life,
but the latter failed to trace the plot
tiers.
A telegram from Vienna confirms
the Nepss dispatch, and says that the
bomb was thrown under the Cars
carriage, and that it was shaped like a
book so that it could be carried in the
hand without exciting suspicion.

Several States have passed laws ex-
empting from punishment the wages
Of an employe, when he can show
that these wages are his only means
of support, which showing can easily
be made, Strange to say that such a
law has proved o curse instead OF q
blessing to the lsboring classes, as 1t
has checked the credit system and
forced employees to pay cash for every
thing they purchase, but this in the
end will prove blessing in disguise,
for improvident poor people never fail
to run up large bills when they are
given credit and the result is they
accumulate nothing, The facility
with which tie granting Of extended
